Aldeburgh Music

With dramatic landscapes, soaring skies and a rich musical history, Aldeburgh is a haven for creativity, a place where artists from around the world have found inspiration and reached their full potential since the days of Benjamin Britten.

Aldeburgh Residencies provide the opportunity for UK and international artists to spend time on the Suffolk Coast, absorbing the creative atmosphere which has inspired so many over the years. From individual musicians to ensembles, and from jazz and world music projects to classical and electronica, Aldeburgh Residencies have allowed artists to experiment, take risks, develop new work, explore cross-artform possibilities, establish new ensembles and more besides.

Each Residency is unique, tailored to the professional development needs of the individuals involved. With time and space to develop bespoke projects, artists can reconnect with their creative selves in our campus of performance and rehearsal spaces at Snape Maltings.

Residencies usually lead to major performances in the Aldeburgh Festival or during our year-round performance programme, or culminate in informal showcases of work-in-progress.
